                    Figure 32-8  •  A, Full and partial (B) whole-body dorsoventral views of a healthy boa are dominated by skeletal elements to include the

                    skull, spine, and ribs. The air-filled lung and air sacs are also evident, as are three small- and medium-sized intestinal gas pockets. The solid

                    organs are indefinable as such, instead appearing as a diffuse gray background density.
